Dealing with the problems of late night drinking – your opinion counts.  Follow link to Govt consultation http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/about-us/consultations/late-night-drinking/

ru-ok? is the young person’s substance misuse service for Brighton & Hove. We provide free, confidential help and advice to young people (and their families). Our confidentiality & information sharing policy can be found under the questions? tab.

See Support page under Professionals or Parents/Carers for information/briefings on various drugs

We can help you if you’re under 18, you live (or go to school / college) in the Brighton and Hove area, and drugs, alcohol or legal highs are:  

  • Making you do things you regret
  • Having a bad impact on your home or family life or your personal relationships
  • Getting you into trouble at school / college / work
  • Getting you involved in crime or in trouble with the police
  • Putting your housing at risk
  • Making you feel like you can’t cope without getting drunk / high
